monuments 10 the CO0tGQer0to QeaQ IN
the South. We wish the raiders would
come here and begin work OH the
nearest approach we have to such q
monument, which is the old court
house standing on the place where the
monument ought to be. Now that tho
surrounding trees are cut down aud
the hideOusness Of the old building is
fully developed to the public gaze,
there cannot be much further delay.
Surely tho county commissioners cam
not find 1t in their consciences to keep
u shabby and now naked ruin at the
most public place in tho city while
patriotic women are begging the op-
portunity to replace it with beautiful
monument.
Grave Matter.
(Slmter IYatchman and Soatth,on.)
On last Monday evening it was an-
nounced upon our streets that tho body
OF dead man was lying in tho Bap-
list churchyard. Immediately upon
the reception Of this information the
entire police force with lanterns in
hand headed procession Of terrified
citizens and proceeded to the scene
whore the dead body was reported to
be lying. The, closest kind of search
was made for the body but without
avail. Our policemen realized that
the had been badly hoaxed upon the
suggestion Of some ono present that
perhaps the dead body reported 10 be
lying in this yard was several feet
under ground. The originator Of this
huge joke cannot plume himself upon
the possession Of vast amount Of
good judgement.
Tie Tillman Movement.
(Laurens A6veatisea.)
During the last political campaign
this paper spent great deal of time
in trying to solve the problem as to
what constituted the Tillman move
ment. We heard Of "Farmers' move
ment" on all sides, and yet, you asked
one if it was a political moment, the
baro suggestion would give offence.
Then you would find a man who with
out answering the question would be-
gin haranguo asto the right Of farm
ers to discuss politics, and such stuff
as every man knows is true, and has
never been doubted by anyone. Those
who had political aspirations swal.
lowed tho myth-movement--without
knowing or caring to have any we'll
defined idea of what the movement
meant.
At recent meeting Of the Tillman-
ties in Edgeleld at which the Grand
Mogul was present, and it is stated,
the lawyers and doctors present could
have out-voted the farmers, tho Agri-
cultural and Mechanical Association
was swallowed up by the Central
(Movement) Club bodily, funds and
property.
In giving an account of this meeting
tho correspondent to the Register
says:
It was generally deplored that tho
great farmers movement throughout
the State had taken on 80 much poll
tics. In fact it was acknowledged
even by Tillman that the masses were
laboring under the sole misapprohen
sion that tho main and only object of
the movement was political.
Organize One Hero.
(Pee Dee Inder.)
Near the little town of Rising Star,
In Eastman county, Texas, curious
secret society has been organized. Tho
object Of the order is to suppress idle
ness and make everybody work.
When an able-bodied man is found to
be habitually idle no is warned by a
committee to go to work or leave the
community. This society is said to
have converted tho southern part of
Eastman county into perfect hive of
industry. 1t Is ali unlawful organiza-
ton, but 1t seems to be doing some
good in the world.
(Nep York World.)
Referringito the rush of lawyers to
New York city the Cincinnati Com
me"ciul Gazette says:
Able lawyers who contemplate re-
moval to New York because there Is
10 other city in this country large
enough to accommodate their giant
intellccts, should rememb er that there
are already 1928 able lawyers in that
place, and that all Of them are no,
accommodating wealth rapidly. Not
every New York lawyers shingle is
gold that glitters, either.
But think of the number of men IN
Now York who require the constant
attention of lawyers to keep thcm out
Of jail. This Is the home Of the big
corporations managed by rich gentle
men who have poor memories. W.
have boodlemen mere and big brihe.

ycrs in ono case and q few mercona-
